Check out this cool looking Wrecker, I shot last week. This would make a great addition to the Toy Market.

I built one a while back using LAFD HR-56 as a guide.

It is toward the middle of the image bank.

I agree. These should be made. Here is the DC wreaker on a call on I-295 in DC last Thursday. Thanks. Take care, Scottie

These may not be fire related, but they sure would look good dressed up for some department.

They could also capitalize O'Hare Towing (Chicago, IL) Truck 903 "The Mistress", made famous by the TV reality series on SPEED "Wrecked: Life In The Crash Lane"

However, I have heard the TWH and First Gear are considering making Miller Industries Century 1060S/1075S rotating boom heavy wrecker molds.

Timmy2tone, the LAFD Pierce Arrow XT you did is WOW/OUTSTANDING/IMPRESSIVE!!!! Shocked
Very jealous...Wish Code 3 would do one. What did you use as the base model? I've been wanting to attempt one or still hoping Code 3 will eventually do one.
